It doesn’t take anything more than a quick glance at the news to understand that the nation is sharply divided on politics. The stark line between left and right continues to grow and one demonologist claims it could be Satan who is behind the current political divide.
Karl Payne, an expert on demonology and the author of the highly acclaimed book Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization, and Deliverance, cites Jesus acknowledging that, for a time, Satan has been given limited authority on Earth. According to a report by WND, Payne said, “If someone asks if [Satan] would influence the political system, I say, ‘Of course he would. Why wouldn’t he?’”
“Chaos is the name of the game, I believe, for Satan and for his minions,” said Payne, a pastor at Antioch Bible Church near Seattle and a former chaplain for the Seattle Seahawks NFL team. “If Jesus speaks truth, they [demons]want to undermine that truth any way that can.”
The Greek words “dia” and “bolos” essentially mean “apart” and “throw” respectively, and when combined as diabolos means one who splits or divides. Payne also specifically noted Proverbs 6: 16-19, which says there are seven things that God hates, and number seven is people who “purposefully sow discord.”
“Through the television, through the movies, we’re just inundated with ‘up is down, down is up, black is white, white is black, good is evil, evil is good,’ you can’t get away from it,” he said.
As an example, Payne said he couldn’t imagine 20 or 30 years ago seeing the emergence of a bill such as California’s AB 2943 that would punish the sale or promotion of the idea that God can heal unwanted sexual-attractions.
“I thought to myself, do you really think that there would come a time in this country when people who love Jesus — who live by a credo of love your enemies and pray for those who spitefully use you, who treat others as you want to be treated — would be labeled as xenophobic, homophobic bigots, I would have said, no, I don’t think in my lifetime that could happen,” he said. “I not only think it’s here, I think we’re going to see more of it.” –WND
Payne says Christians shouldn’t be surprised at the treatment they are getting from others and says Americans have it easy being only socially ostracized rather than facing the real possibility of death as many in Muslim countries do. He cited John 15 in which Jesus said “if they hate me they will hate you” and the apostle Paul’s writing which said that “if you reign with Christ you will also suffer with him.” Peter, in his letters, also refers extensively to Christians suffering unjustly. “We in this country are the anomaly,” Payne said.“Our (Christian) brethren in Muslim countries who are suffering on a daily basis are saying, ‘I don’t see how you can say you’ve got it hard when you’re socially ostracized and not invited to parties or something. We literally have to be concerned about being killed on a regular basis.’”
Payne seems to be warning that demons and evil are responsible for the division in the world right now, and in his words are veiled predictions that it will get worse before it gets any better.
While there are always scoffers, even among clergy, if you talk to them one-on-one, many will privately admit to odd stories in which people in their parish and congregation were under attack by seeming supernatural forces.
You can have hauntings.
A person can be suffering from demonic oppression.
A person can rarely experience demonic possession.
Hauntings and oppression are not unusual. People are quiet about them due to ridicule. Pastors often get invited over to have a house blessing and then discover something is actively going on: whispering, peculiar temperature changes, flickering lights, electical devices turning off or on, running water, moving objects, etc.
It often occurs around rebellious teenagers who have invited them in by witchcraft, rituals, demonic music, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual immorality, open rebellion at school in the home, etc.
Sleep paralysis is often present. Horrible nightmares as well.
The house is not a home as there is an oppressive presence, it is often very dirty and unkept, and emotions are seething in all who live there. People can be volatile and close to tears.
A telltale sign is when people are prayed over, they have a vehement fierce anger that comes out of nowhere. Even they are surprised when this happens as they feel such ideas are silly as demons and God are imaginary.

Interviewed first responders, law enforcement, and social workers who witness this bizarre event had horrible things happen to them and were afraid. Not just fear…but AFRAID.
Been saying this and other for 8 years.
Liberalism is a demented satanic cult – Liberals for the most part have turned their backs on GOD – Good Luck with that fools!
AW COME ON: He gets all the blame. It’s obv it’s TRUMPS FAULT!! Let’s get real and stick to reality we can deal with.
“The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof.”
— from Isa 19

Bush’s time has past, lets blame Obama. He spent 8 years screwing up this country and he now wants credit for Trump’s accomplishments. History will judge him harshly.
Jim, you’re right. Obama did it, LOL.
Is there a balance of powers, in Heaven. Or, is the Kingdom of God by a popular vote, in which all political views are morally equal. If you read the Bible, this way, you would be subject to hard persecution, in America.
Biblically speaking, God can be the author of division, like at Babel, and among the armies of the heathen. Why do you think this discussion pertains just to the outside world.
God has a will, a planned outcome that will be accomplished, man does not determine what it is.
In reality, all man does is decide how it is carried out (As in deciding WWII was the means to carry out God’s long stated will of reestablishing Israel and bringing the Jews scattered in the diaspora back to it).
Jesus was taken to the top of the Mount from where all the cities below could be seen. And it was there that (((someone))) referred to in the Bible as (((The Devil))) attempted to bribe him with power, money, and prestige. Now, your pastor convinced you this (((devil))) was a ghostly spirit from the underworld. Is not the Mafia and Organized Crime referred to as the “underworld”. Could not this “Devil” have been flesh and blood, and human in form? When our politicians are bribed is it not by a “Devil” in long pants? The Pharasies were Jewish lawyers, ancient Rabbi, who brought with them carnal sexuality based on phallic worship combined with a tradition that is similar to gypsies of stealing and cheating those outsiders. Jews believe they are chosen to have all the riches of this material world. Jesus opposed this. For this he was murdered; technically by the Romans, actually by the insistence and pressure by the Jews. Some say that since that murder there has been a fight for power between Christian and Jew, where the Jew is the embodiment of the Devil who tempted Jesus but was refused. “May his blood be upon us and our children.” So cried the Jews for the death of Jesus.
What exactly was so dangerous to Jews that they wanted Jesus dead? Jesus preached inclusion and assimilation. He taught that ANYONE could be like a Jew, chosen to inherit the earth with all its riches. Jesus denied that Jews had any right to rape, rob, and destroy non-Jews.

Oh for Christ sake. I thought this was prepper site.
Sorta depends on what you’re preparing for, and why.
When I was college in the 60s there was a song “I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.” In a way, articles like this show the overall condition of society.
Art Bell talked of the Quickening, which is the cumulative behavior of society, getting worse and worse, leading to conditions where our preps will be needed.
There are a lot of prepper/survivalist sites I visit but this one, at times, also looks at the mindset of our society and people in general. Drudge, Breitbart, and this site are my main sites I visit daily. I need the bigger, broader picture of things to help me prep.
Prepping is a state of mind, but, to each his own.
Historically, fairy and witchy things become trendy, following war and hardship.
Anyone who has been put in a life or death situation, particularly, repeatedly, has some opinion on religion. Whether for or against, you will have thought about it.
Seen it on the internet.
Must be true.
Reminds me of the video
The Devil is a Lie by Rick Ross
This government is the evil, both sides. They all love war just like our president who claimed to be leaving Syria a short time ago, now saying the US will never leave. They also said early on in Afghanistan that the US would be there until 2025. Yeah right with all that heroin production. Eternal war is grossly expensive, the reason everything for Americans is so expensive. Excessive upward spiraling profit must be upheld as a basic capitalist tenet. The population can scrounge for bugs to eat and live in a hole.
As written, Satan rules this world, And the children of Satan are doing a good job. Just look around, there doin great, But it’s for a short time, The Tares burn , and if we all do our part, The new beginning, The in between part is were we get our ass kicked a little. But is there any other way. You cull the rabid animals from the herd, and if you don’t?
Satan is the god of this world (2 Cor.4:4) – the world around us is under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19).
Pay attention guys soon the culling will begin- drinks nos
